Draft bill establishing Egyptian Intellectual Property Authority approved
Egyptian Cabinet have approved a bill to establish the Egyptian Intellectual Property Authority, the first entity of its kind in the country.

The move comes as a result of one of the goals of the National Strategy for Intellectual Property (2022-2027) which was launched by the President in September last year. The Authority will officially operate in 2024.
